Last night, Vice President Kamala Harris and the ABC “moderators” put the “bait” into “debate,” ganging up on Trump to bait him into losing his cool. Unfortunately, too often, he went for it, allowing himself to get distracted, angry and defensive and missing many opportunities to turn the focus back where it belonged, on issues of most concern to voters like the economy.
In last night’s “debate,” Kamala Harris was allowed by the “moderators” to get away with telling long-debunked lies, evading questions, and reciting vague answers and platitudes with few if any details.
Stung by accurate criticism that her first economic proposals were either blatant rip-offs of Trump’s proposals (“no taxes on tips”) or long-discredited leftist nostrums guaranteed to make things even worse (price controls), Kamala Harris will reportedly release more of her economic plans today.
For three years, Biden and Harris have ignored those 13 fallen heroes, never even mentioning their names in public. So when they invited a President who did show concern and compassion for them – Trump – to a third anniversary commemorative ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, he showed up and spent four hours with them.
So, what’s going to determine the outcome of this year’s presidential election? The will of the voters in their respective states, or that of the high-powered attorneys?
On Friday afternoon, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., in suspending his campaign, gave what might turn out to be the most consequential political speech of our lifetime. May it be so. Inarguably, this speech is one of the most necessary.
Hillary Clinton got a big cheer by saying of Kamala Harris, “Yes, she will restore abortion rights nationwide.” Moments later, she declared, “Kamala cares, cares about kids and families.” Does that mean if kids can manage to make it out of the womb without being dismembered, she’ll care about them?
